Hey everyone, I was quiet for a bit after my maw maw passed but spring has officially sprung and I can't not share pictures again. For those of you following, this is our first week in the country. We picked up sticks cleared two trees and are bush hogging today so we have a spot to set up an RV. We are going to be overlooking a creek to one side and have a field out back down the hill that I have free reign to fill with delicious native food. (It used to be soy beans) I am beyond excited and can't wait to share with you all how it goes. I haven't taken many pictures because we are too busy making lasting memories but here's a kinda shitty picture of a bluebell for picture tax.

Just getting around to sharing my foragables tarot deck ...also my cat people out there will enjoy general cat shinanagry as I try to show it off

🌿 Get Ready to Grow! 🌿 Spring is almost here… and March is our month to prepare. Before the rush of planting and harvesting begins, this is the perfect time to build, make, mix, and start the things that will set us up for a beautiful, productive growing season. 🌞 This month’s theme is Get Ready to Grow - and I’ve created something special to go along with it. I put together a course with 31 simple garden projects to spark ideas and inspiration. You do not need to complete all 31. Think of it as a menu - small, doable projects that help you move forward one step at a time. This course is available to everyone for the month of March so click over to the "Classroom" Tab and check it out!🌱 Here’s the heart of the challenge: Each week in March, choose projects that help prepare your garden for the upcoming season - and post about what you’re making or growing in the community so we can inspire each other. 💚 Your project might be: 🔨 Structures • Build a trellis • Make a cold frame • Create raised beds or planters 🎨 Decor • Paint garden rocks • Make plant markers • Design a garden sign 🌿 Soil • Start a compost system • Mix your own potting soil • Refresh garden beds 💧 Watering Systems • Make an olla • Set up simple drip irrigation • Create a rainwater collection system 🌱 Seedlings • Start sprouts • Plant seeds indoors • Grow your first plant starts This isn’t about perfection. It’s about momentum. ✨ One small project a week can completely change how prepared and confident you feel when planting season arrives AND you don’t need a big garden to do this - I’ve got projects for tiny spaces and apartments too! So, Post pictures. 📸 Share your progress. Show us your messy workbench, your half-built trellis, your tiny seedlings. When we see each other building and growing, it reminds us that we can do it too. 🌼 Let’s spend March laying the groundwork - literally and figuratively - so when spring fully arrives, we’re ready. Who’s in?! 🌸

I am wondering how many of y'all are familiar with role playing games (RPG) like dungeons and dragons. I'm working on a gamified approach to building foraging skills and am curious who's into that kinda thing. If you play or have played RPGs, let me know which ones in the comments 😁👍✨🎲

Trying out some sketches as part of my journal entry. I also like to take photographs. Found some marsh marigold, trillium, and violets. These are growing in an area east of the city but I have not found any in other areas. I like finding different plants growing in different areas.
